Do you remember what you had in mind for this? It seems like once we're past the initial yield of a generator, there's no easy way to get that data back. If the frame got created early on and cached the data, we could probably still access it, but if you for instance hit a breakpoint after the initial yield, I'm not sure how we'd recover the initial arguments.
